UNKEPT PROMISES

There are some promises that should never be made, because it’s obvious from the second they are spoken that there is little chance they will be kept.

You said there was a song for every relationship, and this was ours. If you’re lost you can look and you will find me. You lied. I lied. Or did we just forget to look?

Some promises should never be made because fate prevents them from being kept.

Time after time I looked, and found little or nothing. Fate was not on our side when we made that promise.

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you.
Caught up in circles, confusion
is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights,
almost left behind.
Suitcases of memories,
time after –

Sometimes you picture me
I’m walking too far ahead.
You’re calling to me, I can’t hear
what you’ve said.
Then you say ‘go slow’
I fall behind.  
The second hand unwinds.

Chorus:
If you’re lost you can look and you will find me,
time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I’ll be waiting
time after time.

After my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray.
Watching through windows, you’re wondering
if I’m okay.
Secrets stolen from deep inside,
the drum beats out of time.

Chorus

You said go slow,
I fall behind.
The second hand unwinds.

Chorus
